I'm doing well here, really it got to 105 there? its only about 16-19 C (roughly 40 F) here during the day. last week we had a Zone Outing to a wildlife park. I got to see koalas and even feed several kangaroos I'll try to send pictures but I think they are to big to attach to emails. Brother Turk, (the guy with the RC helicopters) has been sick lately so it is hard to see him. I just got transfer info this morning I will be still be in Kensington Gardens. Though this transfer we won't have a car, I suspect they will be giving it to the new district leader. TIWI is a system they put in the car that you have to log into every time you drive and it yells at you when you speed or are driving to aggressively, and when you don't stop it emails the mission office. What you heard about us getting iPads and being able to use Facebook is true they are going to start phasing it in over the next few months. This week we didn't get as much done as we hoped, partially because most of the members weren't available to come out when we thought they were so we only had one lesson with a member instead of the 5-6 that we usually get. We were able to teach an potential investigator that had been interested but was never able to meet with us since January a couple weeks ago and he is going really well. Another cool experience was while we were tracting we found a chinese guy that we weren't to sure on how much he understood us on Saturday and he came to church Sunday, we are going to see him tomorrow.
It's been really good here, glad you got Oso shaved in time, he's probably really jealous of Shadow not having as much hair. Sorry to hear about the transformer blowing out it's been a couple years since that happened. There were a lot of changes in the broadcast, they are putting a lot more trust in the missionaries now. I actually only got to see the broadcast yesterday, because of the time difference we just watched a recording of it this Sunday instead, so you might have actually seen it before me. Rumor has it we will be one of the missions that get the iPads sooner rather than later, that will be awesome now we can show the Mormon message videos on a bigger screen than the 1X1.5 in screen on our phone.

Mom don't worry about me getting the medicine after it gets to the mission home, my current district is the one that covers the mission home so we get our mail fairly regularly. A lot of the members feel the same way about missionary work as you do, but what the stake president said in ward conference and also what our trainings have focused on is don't worry whether they will accept it. You don't have to force it on them but you can at least offer it to them the worst that could happen is they say no. also one of the things we have been challenged to do more of is Member Missionary Lessons (MML) where we go in and teach a member family a simple principle or share a missionary scripture, and then we invite them to pray and ask who is ready. also we offer to help with anything that you might need help with. One way to help is Family History work, we have a family history center in our chapel and we invite a lot of people who might be interested to come, eventually most of them ask why we think it is so important and that leads into a gospel discussion.

I'm doing fine, medicine wise I've still got a lot of the omeprazole I'm not sure about being about to get it here because some things have different names. Amitriptyline I've still got a few weeks left of. I have been doing well. This week we had more members at lessons than the Kensington Gardens area has had before. Its awesome to be able to see the members answer the questions that people ask. Also we have been trying to see a lot of less-active members and they have been doing pretty well we actually got a referral from one of them yesterday. Another one I was able to get them to let us come back because of my RC helicopter, he collects them and likes to talk about them to anyone who can understand any of it, after that got us in the door we were able to teach him a little bit about the importance of the sacrament. This week was really cool because even though half of our investigators went on holiday we were still able to reach or teaching goals.
Dad, how are you feeling. Did the surgey make a big difference for you. I hope you will have more energy and start to feel well soon.
Love you guys

Hi Everyone,
Cool, this week was cool! We didn't get to see very many people because its finals week and a lot of the people we see are Chinese university students. we really aren't seeing that many people mostly trying to drop by potential investigators and see if they really are interested. This week was great, one of our investigators that claims to be an atheist prayed with us for the first time, came to church for the second and went to a fireside with one of the counsellors in the stake presidency. Also a really cool story was in zone training a couple weeks ago we did some roleplays, then soon after the investigator that we were roleplaying with another companionship moved. It turns out he not only moved into that companionships area but moved in with a couple that was already investigating and lives right next to the chapel. It has been awesome. It was the queens birthday yesterday so it was a public holiday so preparation day got moved, we found a new investigator and several potentials. this week has definitely been full of miracles.
Love,
Elder Warner

Yeah, I did have to buy a bike because they want us using the car as little as possible, plus the headlights blew so until the vehicle coordinator can fix them we have to grab the bikes around 5:30 or 6:00. Sorry to take that much money out of the account with no warning. I hope it was not too much trouble. Tell dad he still has a sense of humour so he can't be borg yet. Elder Jones emailed me and told me that he gave my scriptures to the Assistants so I'm not sure if they will send them here or there. You don't need to send me the camera card back I've still got 2 (grandma gave me one) I will have to check about the dropbox sight you mentioned and see if I can get permission. I will have to grab more money out later because what I did grab wasn't the full amount.
It has been awesome here we found 4 new investigators this week and the sisters in our district called us because one of their investigators needed a blessing so I got to do that to. Tell Kenzie and Jordan Congrats for me. I am excited for her. Sounds like it was a nice day and that things all went well.
I am loving it here and I can't imagine being anywhere else or doing anything else. Drew, you should start planning now. This is the BEST!
Ihas been awesome here, that J Golden Kimball stuff would be cool but I'm not sure if I would be allowed to read it or even if I would have time. It has been a wonderful week the only investigator that we had at church yesterday was the one that we were most worried about coming, it really effected him. Pretty much all the people there that we didn't call ahead of time to see if they could greet him with us thought he was a member. Also we were following up a potential investigator and it turned out she had grown up in the church but hasn't come in almost thirty years. She was happy to see us and kind of hinted at the fact that normally she just doesn't answer the door if it's the missionaries. I am loving it here. also about the packages always send them to the mission office.
Love,

That is awesome to hear about Logan being prompted to not go back to his apartment. Did he become an Assistant to the President, or do they let the zone leaders do that over there? I am glad he was safe. The Lord truly does take care of Missionaries if you listen. I guess that rings true to those other than Missionaries as well. I don't know anything about what they did with my scriptures I will email them. I was told that they would send them home with Jones and that he would contact you when he got home to Tooele. So far it is pretty awesome here. We are always busy. Elder Fepu Lea'I (my companion) is from New Zealand, but his family is from Samoa. it is really awesome here, our flat is actually right next door to the chapel and the mission office. I actually get to drive because our area has a car assigned and my companions license expired. We already have a few really solid investigators so far it is really good.
Tell Dad that I am praying for him and that I love him. How long will he be in the hospital? I have a good feeling about all of this to and I know the Lord hears and answers prayers. Things will work out, they always do. Tell Drew to make sure to help around the house because Dad won't be able to help for a little bit I bet. Drew can quit playing computer and help. He will if you ask.
Love,
Elder Christopher Warner
